Deco X5700

3 xe75 pros, 2 on 1 level, 1 upstairs for about 5 months, greenlight 1 gb and ran flawlessly. Added 2 x5700 which are similar but discontinued. One x5700 is ethernet wired to basement tv. Home theater, main tv, streamer all ethernet, no issues. Recently the software was not responding or wouldn't respond to prompts . Rebooted the main, and all problems disappeared and the basement tv which i discovered has ethernet connection capped at 100mbs, responded faster. The 5700 won't update for some reason but not an issue. Only baffling thing is the 5700 closest to the shed doesn't push a signal to the rear of the house. Adding a tp link camera soon so it should connect to that node.

Recently moved off my TP Link Deco Mesh X5300 system. Was working great until I was getting consistent drops from a few different smart devices. I went with UniFi Dream Router 7! So far so good. Now converting all of my smart home devices over to Home Assistant with a HomeKit bridge to enable items in HomeKit.

Tplink Deco WiFi 6 mega is amazing you will not be disappointed

I have a 2 pack TP Link Deco mesh system and it works great for me.

I have a 1gb connection and about 100 feet from the main unit through a brick wall I can get 25 megabits a second down.

Plus one here for Deco. I have four WiFi 6 models. Mesh is a better solution I agree. WiFi 7 models are still very expensive but few devices are compatible at the moment so for me WiFi 6 is the best option for the money.

Your problem is simple. The router Spectrum gave you is weak, and it is sitting too far from your room. You do not need Ethernet in every room, and you do not need to touch the coax ports at all. Ignore the video you saw. You also do not want a “wifi extender.” Those cut your speed in half because they repeat the signal instead of creating a real network. Here is the easy path: 1. Buy a two pack mesh system. One unit replaces the Spectrum router and plugs into the Spectrum modem with the same cable the old router used. The second unit goes in the hallway or living room halfway between the modem and your bedroom. You only need power for the second unit. No coax. No Ethernet. 2. Set them up using the app that comes with the system. It takes five minutes. The mesh units talk to each other wirelessly and create one strong network. Your bedroom will get full signal because the second unit is right down the hall instead of across the whole house. 3. For brands, eero 6 or TP-Link Deco 6 are fine. They cost about 100 to 150 dollars for a two or three pack. Put it on your Christmas list. Either one will be miles better than what Spectrum gave you. 4. Do not overthink MoCA or powerline. They work in some houses and fail in others. Mesh is the least headache and works in almost every small house. If you do those steps your PS5 will stay online and you can stop fighting with the signal.

I replaced an older Netgear Orbi system a few years ago with a TP-Link Deco to get WiFi 6 and outdoor APs. It worked great for a few years and then because extremely unreliable. We switched about 6 months ago to a Firewalla AP7 WiFi system powered by a Firewalla Gold SE. I absolutely love the performance and reliability but it was the robust security is what drove the decision. Ubiquity was the other option we considered. They’re very compelling but we already had the Firewalla Gold SE router.

I switched from eero to TP deco and I like it more. Assigning 2.4 for IoT stuff is a great improvement. At one stage I was literally walking 100 feet outside to make my phone get to 2.4 because the eero cannot manually switch between bands. Deco WiFi 6 is great so far as long as you’re willing to fiddle with a few settings.

I recommend TP link Deco, there is s nice user friendly app and it’s an easy setup. However as someone else wrote, mesh can be difficult on different floors without some cabeling in between floors. I have set it up at one location with an outdoor deco x50 as the main point and then 8 indoor units to cover 8 apartments in two floors and that works good, so that’s an alternative solution for you to consider.

Best thing i ever did in my home setup was scrapping Google Mesh wifi5 for a Deco wifi6 setup. Went from 5 to 2 units to cover my entire house, 160 m2 old brick stone house.

You can buy 2 unit. The main one being in the house and another garage. However, it’s hard to determine which type of connection can be used to connect the unit between the garage and the house since i’m not an expert. But if you can run ethernet from the house to the garage than you can connect the deco together via wired backhaul. The deco does have a wireless backhaul where you don’t need a cable for the two to connect but it may or may not work depending on the yard length. You could go with an outdoor unit on the yard and that would possibly be a wirless bridge between the unit in garage and unit in your house - would suggest the outdoor unit to be wired to the one in your house. That said, if you can figure that part of how to connect the deco together, i think you mean 1 gigabit internet speed instead of 1 gigabyte but if you want best performance on wifi you should go with Deco with Wifi 6E or Wifi 7. Wifi 6 is a cheaper choice but expect to get only 700-800mbps on average even in ideal condition based from my previous setup. That said it’s important that your device support wifi 6E or wifi 7 too since it’s recently introduced. Wired ethernet is also a great choice too.
